These Tiny Bubbles Do Huge Work in Clean-Water Plant Processes

You’ve heard of coarse and fine bubbles for aeration in secondary wastewater treatment. Now there are nanobubbles, promising new capabilities. Unlike fine and coarse bubbles, which emerge from diffusers in a basin bottom and ultimately float to and escape at the surface, nanobubbles largely stay entrained in the wastewater stream and do a variety of good work. Nanobubbles typically measure about 100 nanometers in diameter, invisible to the eye and 2,500 times smaller than a grain of table salt. For perspective, fine bubbles measure about 2 mm. Nanobubble technology can enhance the performance and productivity of wastewater treatment and industrial processes. Cost-effective and chemical-free,
